    Global Strike - the final book in The War Planners series. It has been over a year since the war began. A year since China launched its surprise attack on America. EMP and cyber weapons plunging much of the nation into a dark chaos. Thousands of anti-ship missiles gutting the US Pacific fleet. A Chinese-allied North Korea launching an all-out attack on South Korea. Chinese information warfare campaigns triggering America to launch a nuclear strike on China's own nuclear stockpile. And the international political consequences that followed....The Chinese-American war has grown cold in the past year. The two superpowers are separated by ocean-sized moats. China's strategy is to put America under siege, politically and economically. And it's working. But the flames of war will soon re-ignite. Chinese President Jinshan is not long for this earth. With cancer giving him only a few months left to live, he is ready for his final move. A massive Chinese military transit across the Pacific, and eventually onto American soil. The Americans are preparing. David Manning is one of the top analysts on the joint CIA-DOD Silversmith team, and he's desperately searching for a strategy to win. His brother Chase is working with American special forces and CIA teams in the Chinese-contested territory of South America. Victoria Manning is the commanding officer of a navy helicopter squadron in the eastern pacific. Lena Chou is held prisoner on an American military base. But everything is about to change.Time is running out.And the Americans will need more than technology or bravery to win the war.They will need a plan. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    The Greatest Battles in History: The Battle of Okinawa , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 93min
    If you die there will be no one left who knows the truth about the Battle of Okinawa. Bear the temporary shame but endure it. This is an order from your army Commander. (Mitsuru Ushijima to Colonel Hiromichi Yahara) Near the end of 1944, as Allied forces were pushing across the Pacific and edging ever closer to Japan, plans were drawn up to invade the Ryuku islands, the most prominent of them being Okinawa. Military planners anticipated that an amphibious campaign would last a week, but instead of facing 60,000 Japanese defenders as estimated, there were closer to 120,000 on the island at the beginning of the campaign in April 1945. The Battle of Okinawa was the largest amphibious operation in the Pacific theater, and it would last nearly three months and wind up being the fiercest in the Pacific theater during the war, with nearly 60 thousand American casualties and over 100 thousand Japanese soldiers killed. In addition, the battle resulted in an estimated 40 thousand - 150 thousand Japanese civilian casualties. Okinawa witnessed every conceivable horror of war both on land and at sea. American ground forces on Okinawa had to deal with bad weather (including a typhoon), antitank moats, barbed wire, mines, caves, underground tunnel networks, and fanatical Japanese soldiers who were willing to use human shields while fighting to the death. Allied naval forces supporting the amphibious invasion had to contend with Japan's notorious kamikazes, suicide pilots who terrorized sailors as they frantically tried to shoot down the Japanese planes before they could hit Allied ships. As one sailor aboard the USS Miami recalled, "They came in swarms from all directions. The barrels of our ship's guns got so hot we had to use fire hoses to cool them down." ungekürzt.

    No Ordinary Disruption: The Four Global Forces Breaking All the Trends , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 498min
    The dramatic fall of Blackberry and the stunning rise of What'sApp; the almost overnight emergence of "Single's Day" (Nov. 11), a contrived holiday in China, as the biggest online shopping day in the world, and the similarly from-out-of-nowhere rise of the U.S. as the world's newest petro-power: Are there common threads running through these big, important, stories? Yes. Ours is an era of near constant discontinuity. Today and even more so in the years ahead, speed, surprise, and sudden shifts in direction in huge global markets will routinely shape the destinies of established companies and provide opportunities for new entrants. Business models can be up-ended in months. Competitors can rise in almost complete stealth and burst upon the scene. Businesses that were protected by large and deep moats now find their defenses are easily breached. New markets are conjured seemingly from nothing. Technology and globalization have put the natural forces of market competition on steroids. This isn't just how the world now feels; it's also what the data tell us. Chart the plot points on most long-term trends and they no longer look like smooth upward slopes; they look like sawtooth mountain ridges, or like hockey sticks, breaking up sharply and to the right, or like the silhouette of Mt. Fuji, rising steadily only to start falling off. We live, increasingly, in an age of trend breaks. In No Ordinary Disruption, the directors of the McKinsey Global Institute, the flagship think tank of the world's leading consulting firm, McKinsey & Company, dive deeply behind current headlines to analyze the key forces transforming the global economy over the next two decades - and most importantly, to explain what business and government leaders need to do to reset their intuitions and take advantage of the disruptions ahead. ungekürzt.

    How to Avoid the Pink Slip , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 203min
    As the author - the founder of a national executive search firm - placed thousands of executives and managers in corporate positions throughout the 70s, 80s, and 90s, he witnessed a recurring pattern of jobs being offered to individuals based on the personal chemistry between employer and employee; as much as 80 percent of the hiring equation revolved around this intangible concept of personal chemistry. Similarly, he found that most firings and downsizings were as a result of a lack of personal chemistry and as a lack of training or thinking about how to "survive" in the job. He interviewed hundreds of senior corporate executives across multi-industries and functions to examine why one employee would be shown the door while another in a similar professional capacity at the company would "survive". He discerned that the survivors had, like warriors of old, girded their loins against attack and built corporate moats to protect their own employment castles. Most books have been written on how to get the job - How to Avoid the Pink Slip gives you the "inside skinny" or intelligence to develop the means of survival. He also, in his 40 years of corporate executive search, realized that no matter the job performance that all employees from the top to the bottom are potential victims of the downsizing axe and the corporate bean counters - the finance executives who sacrifice people for profits. If you had a job - any job - you are a potential target. This book will tell you how to weigh the odds and stack them in your favor against becoming a victim of the pink slip. Wes will wake up the slumbering worker and tell him or her how to build their own Doppler, a system that will alert them to don fully waterproof gear, raise an umbrella, or simply dodge the raindrops. In other words, how to prevent falling victim to the unseen - or unrecognized - winds that swirl around them every working day. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Robert Martinez.
